Dental Doings

Darn 
Dentist 
Dreadful deed 
Damned if you do 
Dah! Damned if you don’t 
Disturbing drill din daunts 
Drat! Delectable doughnuts 
Digging deep childhood cavities 
Done! Drear disposition diminished 
Displaying the dazzling disarming smile

Sara Kendrick Date: 3/4/2025 7:10:00 AM Dropping by to say congratulations on your winning work. So nice to see it in the winners' list. Way to go. Those dentist visits are not any fun but being without teeth isn't any fun just ask my husband. Sara K Login to Reply Margarita Lillico Date: 3/5/2025 12:24:00 PM Agreed! Husbands and doctors/dentists don’t go together very well:)

Tania Kitchin Date: 3/2/2025 6:11:00 AM Margarita, a well penned creative poem. I dislike like the dentist and you captured the dread of going in your poem. Congratulations on your winning placement. Login to Reply Margarita Lillico Date: 3/5/2025 12:25:00 PM Thank you! Great contest!

Vanya Evangeline Date: 2/17/2025 8:56:00 AM Huh. I should probably go to the dentist at some point, eventually. Amazing alliteration, by the way. Login to Reply Margarita Lillico Date: 3/5/2025 12:25:00 PM Thank you, never too late for a dentist, just cost more:)

Gordon Mcconnell Date: 2/17/2025 2:06:00 AM Lovely piece Margarita, nice imagery and expression, reminds me of my annual dentist check up on a few weeks time. How's life in Canada? It's very cold here in Scotland with snow forecast this week. Take care, Gordon Login to Reply Margarita Lillico Date: 2/17/2025 4:55:00 AM Thanks Gordon, I know a few adults whose fear of dentists is very much present still :) Canada and snow means the same thing this year like never before remembered by many. Luckily we made it to Antigua for a few weeks, flying off on Saturday morning, a few hours before the storm that lasted 18 hours, started! Hope to return to a meltdown:)
